Planning a party in New Charlton
New Charlton is about 2 miles north-east of Greenwich, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in New Charlton will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. New Charlton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from New Charlton to London (about 6 miles away).
Thinking of using Thames Barrier Park? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. If the day starts at St Catherine Labouré, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
We serve parties across SE7, SE18 and E16 and the streets around it. Local streets include Floyd Road, Priolo Road and Hasted Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
FAQs for New Charlton
Is parking a problem for the van in New Charlton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at St Catherine Labouré?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including New Charlton.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, New Charlton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
